She met her former hubby and rugby ace Paul Sampson for a coffee before heading to the gym in a green parker coat.

A friend told The Sun: “Kirsty has learned her lesson big time. It was a sobering experience in every sense - and cost a fortune in cabs ferrying herself and her kids about.

"She’s just focused on the future now.”

After her court shame the fun-loving celeb, nicknamed ‘thirsty Kirsty’, vowed to cut back on the booze.

The star, whose former lovers include rugby bad boy Danny Cipriani and comic Jack Whitehall, said she drank “tons of water” and nothing else.

She blamed the “stress” of her marriage breakdown for breaching the drink-drive limit when she went to pick up her two sons for a day out in 2017.

The ex-Sky Sports presenter, 43, fought back tears in court after admitting the offence.

Kirsty, pictured frolicking in the sea in a bikini on a sunshine break with pal Natalie Pinkham last year, was arrested in Eton, Berks, after cops smelled booze on her breath.

Slough magistrates heard how the ex-Strictly Come Dancing star was going through tough divorce proceedings with Sampson at the time.

The ex-couple, who legally separated in 2015, have sons Oscar, 11, and Jude, eight.

Hours before her arrest she had posted a snap of herself enjoying a night out with pals at a pub.

The pin-up got a taxi home from the boozer and took an Uber to pick up her car the next morning. But an hour later she was stopped by police on her way to pick her sons up for a day at Windsor Castle.

She was driving erratically before officers tracked her parked BMW X4 using CCTV.

Kirsty was breathalysed at the side of the road and her alcohol level was at 106 microgrammes in 100 millilitres of breath – way over the 35 microgrammes per 100 millilitres of breath drink drive limit.
